Chapter 11

"Goddammit Rogers! Why are you ignoring me? It has been two weeks!" Tony finally snapped when he finally saw Rogers walking into the kitchen were Tony was making coffee, after two weeks of locking himself in his room with Barnes. It just happened, Tony just snapped, it was actually within Tony's right to snap at Rogers, for the man start ignoring him since they brought the Winter Soldier back, it was so unfair, so unfair for Rogers to leave him alone after everything said and done, so unfair for the man to abandon their six months relationship to return back to someone who was more machine than human, it was so unfair for Rogers to leave him alone after he… after he…

As for Rogers the man wasn't even looking at him, he was looking away from Tony like just the thought of facing him was repulsive, if you counted the displeasure shining in his face as anything to go by. "Are you done? I would like to return to my room soon." Rogers stated, and God, if Tony wasn't angry before, he was sure as hell angry now.

"What did you just say?" Tony hissed, leaving his cup on the counter and came to face Rogers who was looking at him with boredom in his eyes, something that scared Tony as much as it made him angry. "Am I done? Are you even listening to yourself? What's wrong with you? You are my boyfriend, it's within my right to ask about your wellbeing and question why you have been holing yourself into your room with a fucking Omega who by the way isn't me!" Tony wasn't shouting, but he might as well have been with how loud his voice was.

Rogers on the other hand was frowning darkly, sending Tony dark looks before he let out a sigh and before his gaze returned to being annoyed once more. "Bucky is my mate Tony, I'm sorry that you believed there is going to be anything between us other than a mutual benefit deal, my mate is back Tony and he needs me, sorry." Rogers said in a tone that implied Tony should have known this from the start.

The only thing Tony could feel though was pain and hurt; how could he? How could Rogers say that to him after six months? After he told him he loved him! It was the anger that won in the end, the anger at Rogers for what he did, and the anger at himself for falling for that Alpha, he should have listened to Peggy and Steven when they warned him. "You are a bastard Rogers!" Tony screamed and took the closet thing next to him and throws it at the Alpha, which was his cup that was full of hot coffee.

Tony didn't feel any sympathy when Rogers cursed in pain when the hot coffee hit him in the face, instead, he rushed out of the kitchen will trying desperately to put as much space between him and Rogers as he can, not believing that Rogers was able to play him as the fool; Tony couldn't believe that he fell for it. Tony tried desperately to hold into the tears that wanted to make themselves known; he held desperately into the sobs that nearly left his lips, he wasn't going to cry, not for a bastard like Rogers.

Tony didn't know how long he walked but when he heard footsteps behind him, he tensed and rushed to the first room in sight, going inside and closing the door, letting out a sigh when a few minutes later the footsteps continued with their way and went far away from the room he was hiding in, which made Tony's tense muscle relax a little; when Tony raised his head he let out a breath when he noticed that he was in Steven's recovery room, and it was strange not seeing Peggy around, for the past two weeks ever since the found Bucky and Steven; Steven seemed to have fallen into a coma, Peggy never left his side which, which was sweet as much; but in a way it made him jealous and angry because it seems his boyfriend had broken up with him without Tony being informed of the breaking up, and knowing Peggy she would have growled something like 'I told you so' which Tony didn't want to hear.

Tony took a seat on the chair near the bed, gazing at Steven with a thoughtful look on his face that turned into a sigh. "I wonder how someone as caring as you turned out to be Rogers counterpart, that man is an asshole." Tony grumbled, looking at Steven who was still asleep, wondering when the man will wake up. "You were right… I shouldn't have started something with Rogers… he is an asshole, and a cheater, it does consider as cheating when your boyfriend didn't break up with you until two weeks later of shackling with his ex, right?" Tony asked, his mood darkening even more at the reminder that yes, his boyfriend just broke up with him to run back to his ex, that was supposed to be dead.

Tony then start humming in boredom, looking around the place with a thoughtful look on his face, wondering if he should decorate the place or not, he did give a few comment to the sleeping man, complaining all the while about Rogers. "What did he do this time?" Came the sleep-filled voice, which made Tony jump and let out a squeak he will deny letting out for the rest of his life.

"Don't do that!" Tony shrieked when he regains his normal breathing and heart rate, looking at Steven who was awake and gazing at him with amusement clouding his eyes. "God, you are even worse than that asshole, didn't Aunt Peggy teach you not to scare poor Omegas? We have a delicate hearts!" Tony grumbled as he took his seat back, glaring at Steven darkly hoping that he understood the meaning of his words.

Steven though only gaze at him with a raised eyebrow before letting out a low chuckle, which as much as Tony wanted to deny, made him pout like a five years old kid. "You? Delicate? If that was true then you wouldn't have become Iron Man, but if by delicate you meant small and short than yes, I can see that." Steven stated after he raised himself into a sitting position, taking the glass of water on the nightstand near him and taking sips of water.

Tony flushed at Steven's words, he was feeling annoyed and embarrassed by them, but at the same time he was grateful for the man, because of him, his mind was taken off Rogers who he hoped will rot in hell. "How dare you? I have a very normal height, you are the ones who are giants and abnormal!" Tony growled in mock anger as he crossed his arms trying to ignore the laugh that wanted to make itself known.

"Of course we are." Steven said with a fond smile, which made Tony give one of his own, being grateful for how normal Steven was acting around him. "Can you tell me what happened after I passed out?" Steven asked after a while of comfortable silence, which made Tony hum a little and start explaining.

"…You have been in a coma for two weeks now, thankfully you woke up, aunt Peggy was about to say fuck it and bring Dr. Cho and few other doctors to see what is wrong, even Thor, he went back to Asgard to search the whole 'Darkness lurking within' stuff, you know, you should have told us that you have a serious case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, I would have at least help… after running a few tests that is." Tony offered as he wiggled his eyebrow which caused Steven to snort and shake his head.

"God, you are worse than my husband…" Steven said with a low chuckle, his eyes turning sad as he starts thinking about his late husband, which made Tony shifted in his place. "He used to say I was like black mamba, unsavory when I get mad or if someone angers me, but I kinda liked your explaining better, I did like the film when I first saw it." Steven gave Tony a little, smile which caused the Omega to flush but give a smile of his own.

"Do you want me to bring you something? Food, water, aunt Peggy? I'm sure that you are tired from sleeping without moving an inch for two weeks, but maybe you should return to sleep, I mean it's probably good for you, but maybe not, I'm afraid of Mr. Hyde coming back, so maybe I will lock you in, what do you think?" Tony teased just to be a little shit, which caused Steven to laugh and shake his head, throwing Tony a warm look that made the Omega puff his chest in pride…

Maybe…

Two other weeks passed before Steven recovered completely, though, he may have recovered in his body, but his mind starts to get annoyed with the many 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' comments that all the Avengers took it on themselves to shower him with thanks to one Tony Stark. On the plus side, Steven only smiles and roll his eyes, on the not so plus side, he spent his time glaring at Rogers who was avoiding both Peggy and Steven, spending all of his days in his room with Bucky Barnes.

Bucky Barnes, the one that Tony wanted to hate and despise, but he didn't have the heart to hate an innocent person that suffered by Hydra's hands, he read the files Edith was able to hack from Hydra, and he saw the torture videos, and if he did hate Barnes for stealing his love, after seeing those videos every hate he held for the poor Omega vanished, and turned to the source that deserves it, which was Rogers, for it was the bastard who played Tony's heart, and on top of that, he was the one who wanted to get back the relationship he always had with the still brain-damaged Omega that was once Bucky Barnes, didn't Rogers know that his mate doesn't even know the meaning of the word 'No'? And that he needed a lot of therapy and help before the two of them can be left alone in the same room or else something can trigger that poor Omega who looks more like a lifeless puppet than a person.

Tony grunts as he tried to reason with himself for the forty times that day, trying to channel his anger to Rogers and hope that the bastard will drop dead and relieve Tony from the pain of seeing him. Tony should have listened to Peggy, he should have listened to Steven when he told him not to start something with Rogers or he will regret, he should have really listened; but as always Tony didn't, and he was fooled by Rogers' sweet words and kisses, and his lies of happy ever after and a family, he failed a simple task of following Steven's words and seeing if Rogers loves him for himself and for his body.

He failed so spectacularly that the evidence was sitting in front of him, in the form of a stick with a positive line, glaring at him from its place on the table, informing him how much of a failure he was that he fell for the lies of someone he once considered a lover and a friend.

Tony doesn't even know if he should cry, he really wanted to, crying he meant, but his eyes stayed as dry as desert as he gazed at the stick that seemed to mock him, laughing at his pain; Tony deserve it really, he should have listened to Steven and refuse for Rogers to touch him until he was sure that the man really loved him as who he was not for his body, but day after day Tony saw how Rogers was becoming distant from him, and he can admit he panicked a little, thinking that the love of his life will leave him any minute, so he did what he promised Steven and Peggy not to do and slept with the Rogers.

If only he knew that he was one of those Omegas that can carry pups out of heat, then he wouldn't even allow Rogers to stay within ten feet radar of his whereabouts. Tony let out a sniff, looking at his belly in deep thoughts, wondering what is he going to do now, for he knows he can't raise the baby all on his own, in fact, Tony was sure he will break any second now, he can't even take care of himself probably, but a crying, sniffling, too much work baby? Tony will kill himself now just to get rid of the mounting pressure that seemed to increase.

"Tony?" Steven's gentle voice, made Tony panic, he stood up from his stool so fast that he hit his knees with the table, which caused him to curse and moan in pain, unaware of things falling from the worktable, until Steven was helping him pick them up, which caused Tony to curse like a sailor and drop to the floor hoping that Steven didn't see the tests sheets nor he saw that damned stick; how did he forget that he had an appointment with Steven? The two of them were going to talk about the schematics of the tech that they saw in Hydra's hideout. "What is this, Tony?" Steven asked slowly, finally removing his head from the stick to gaze at Tony who was trying not to panic more than he already was.

"Oh, well, you see, this is Pepper's!" Tony panicked as he said those words hoping that Steven will believe his excuse even if it wasn't believable at all, and it seemed that Steven didn't buy it because he narrows his eyes and gazes at Tony with that look he mastered, the one that made you feel like Steven was gazing at your soul and uncovering the darkest secret you have.

"Tony, please don't lie." Steven said gentle, but Tony was able to detect the steal behind his words which caused Tony to tense, before he gazed at his hands, letting out a tired sigh as he took the stick from Steven's hands, the man was still watching him, not taking his eyes off him.

"It's mine…" Tony said, trying not to make himself smaller than he already was at the blank stare he was at the end of, he already felt like a failure for breaking his promise to Steven, he doesn't need any reminder of how much of a failure he was.

"Did he force you?" Steven finally spoke, his words made Tony furrow his brows but he shook his head because as much as he wanted to blame Rogers, it was as much his fault as it was Rogers. "Does he know?" Steven asked after taking a few breathes to calm down, his words causing Tony to fidget a little.

"No, we broke up after Barnes got back… I don't think it's important that Rogers should be informed; he made sure to tell me he wants nothing to do with me." The last part Tony said to himself in a low voice, but nevertheless, Steven heard it and he let out a low noise that made the hair on Tony's body to stand on its ends.

It was a few seconds later before Steven left, which caused Tony to let out a shaky breath before he finally stood up on his legs that didn't seem to want to cooperate. After taking a calming breath, he went out of his workshop planning to follow Steven and explained everything to him calmly hoping that the man won't go batshit crazy.

But it seemed he was already late and that Steven had gone after Rogers in the end, because when he finally found them it was due to his aunt snapping at them both to stop fighting; when he finally arrived at the place the two of them seemed to have taken as their arena, he winced when he saw Steven pounding his fists into Rogers face who was growling and trying to dodge Steven, but it wasn't working, Steven was not only slightly bigger than Rogers, he was more experienced than him, and with the knowledge of fifty years of fighting and strategy.

"I told you I will kill you if you touched him!" Steven snarled, delivering every word with a punch, which made everyone back away unconsciously, what happened a month ago flashing in front of their eyes, Tony though he gathered himself and rushed toward Steven, taking a hold of his hand, before he destroyed Rogers' already broken nose.

"Goddammit, enough!" Tony snapped as he tried to pull Steven off, which thankfully the man followed him without breaking from his hold, probably didn't have it in him to be rough with Tony when he knew that Tony was already in a delicate state. "Natasha, take Rogers to Bruce, or better, taking him out of the mansion until Steven calm down." Tony ordered, causing Natasha and Clint to rush toward Rogers and helping him to stand before rushing him out of Steven's sight before the man loses it. "And you, come with me!" Tony hissed as he dragged Steven back to his workshop, ignoring how Peggy starts following them with a dark look of her own.

"What was that for, Steven?" Peggy snapped when they were finally inside the workshop, though, Steven didn't answer her, too busy glaring at Tony, probably too angry to dress him down for breaking the promise that Tony promised Steven and Peggy.

Steven even if he didn't answer, he just walked to the desk and took the stick before giving it to Peggy, the Alpha only needed a few seconds for it to click in her head, and when it did she let out a shriek and nearly ran out of the workshop to finish what Steven started, but Steven put a hand on her shoulder and pointed to Tony, which made the Omega gulp, already feeling like death was approaching him…

He should have let Steven kill Rogers…
